Nutrition, Nutrition - We had a fun week discussing all of the things that
we need to keep our bodies healthy. We made a lunchbox, tacos and Mr./Mrs.
Potato Head. We also cut out our own shopping cart and glued some grocery
items in our carts that we chose. On Friday we had a bowl of cheerios as our
snack to go along with our craft. We had two program practices for our
upcoming performances on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Jarjoura talked to us
about the Baby Jesus and let us feel what the straw that Baby Jesus slept on
was like. We all decided that our beds are much softer.
The Advent Season has begun and Pastor Bugg lit the first candle on the
Advent Wreath in Chapel. He told us that the first candle is the Candle of
Hope and that means "God keeps his promises."
Christmas, of course, will be the theme until our Christmas Break. Many fun
and festive things are planned. We will end with our Christmas Party on
December 18. A sign-up sheet is listed outside the classroom. Please
remember that no nut products are allowed.
We will see you all on December 8 and/or on December 9 for our performance.

MANNERS:
Saying "Please, Thank You, Excuse Me"
Table Manners (sitting with two feet in front in you while eating,
not playing with friends or food, saying "Please"
instead of "Give me" or "I want")
Sneezing or coughing into your sleeve
Listening while the teacher is talking
Sharing
Waiting your turn
Playground (not throwing rocks or sand)
Chapel (being quiet, keeping your feet off the wood surface,
sitting all the way back in the pew so you don't hit your
head)
I know that these seem like a lot for your children to remember, but you do
have very smart children. These are basic manners that we will be working
with all year as they are very important social skills. You can help by
reinforcing them at home as well. Believe it or not, these basic manners
will help them be successful in life.
